Reminds me of a lady I knew who would occasionally sell off parts of her collection of magazines that was specific to a very niche group of hobbyists. People coveted those magazines because they were packed with DYI instructions , and when she put a box of them for sale, people rushed in and bought up every last one of them to get the patterns. It wasn’t until they started looking THROUGH the magazines when they realized – this woman had taken scissors to the magazines, took OUT all the project DYIs and the rest was just boring old articles and ads. In effect, it was garbage she wanted to get rid of. Next time we saw her haul a box of dissected magazine carcasses out, we knew to give it a wide berth and she didn’t understand why we were not buying them like we did the last time … LOL!
